Blade Lineage Salsu

At a Glance

Use S2 Acupuncture to gain Slash Damage Up next turn, then finish weakened enemies with Slash S3 Decisive Dive. On the bench, Double Tap supports allies landing finishing blows.

Core Mechanics

• S2 into S3: On Coin Ⅱ Heads Hit of S2, she gains 2 Slash DMG Up next turn (1 at lower Uptie). S3 is Slash and gains +2 Final Power if the target is below 50% HP (below 25% at lower Uptie).
• Finishing bonus: The combat passive Levelheaded (2 Pride Resonance; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ) gives +20% damage to attacks against enemies below 25% HP. When Coin Ⅱ of S3 lands a Critical Hit, it shifts the first Stagger Threshold by 20% of the damage dealt.
• Support passive — Double Tap (4 Pride Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅲ): The 1 ally with the highest SP deals +30% damage when attacking enemies below 25% HP.
• Poise: She gains 4 Poise on Coin Ⅰ hit of S1 (2 on Heads Hit at lower Uptie), and S1 gains +1 Coin Power at 5 or more Poise. The Defense skill Evade gains +3 Coin Power at 6 or more Poise. Her only way to increase Poise Count is S2's Clash Win (+2 Count, +1 at lower Uptie).

How to Use

Wear enemies down while taking Clashes with S1 and S2, and on the turn after landing S2, finish weakened enemies with S3. Her Poise Count supply is small, making Poise hard to sustain on her own. Meursault's Blade Lineage Mentor's passive increases the Poise Potency and Count of the 2 Blade Lineage Identities other than the Mentor with no Poise or the least Poise by 1 each time the Mentor gains Poise from skill or Coin effects, so he serves as a Poise supplier. Her own performance falls behind later Identities, but Double Tap is easy to use and also helpful in backup.
